Today’s task was focused on color change mainly working with 𝗛𝘂𝗲/𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 adjustment layers.

I began with the original photo and experimented with Hue/Saturation to transform the background so it matched the orange shade of the polo the girl was wearing.

It felt really interesting watching how just a few tweaks could completely shift the mood of the image.

For the second edit, I layered two Hue/Saturation adjustments, which allowed me to change both the color of the television behind her and the overall background.

While editing, I noticed some lines on the wall that I didn’t like. At first, I reached for the normal brush tool, but it didn’t give me the effect I wanted. Frustrated, I revisited the tutorial and discovered that what I actually needed was the Spot Healing Brush Tool. The moment I tried it and it worked perfectly, I couldn’t help but laugh at myself. After failing on the first attempt and then finally getting it right, I was honestly so happy my head wan burst, as we say in pidgin. Those little wins are the sweetest part of this journey.

I wrapped up by using Color Balance to make the photo sharper and more refined. Looking at the before-and-after slides made me appreciate how much I’ve grown, even in just a few days.

To be honest, I haven’t been perfectly consistent. I skipped Day 4 and 5 because I struggled to fully understand the exercises. Consistency is not as easy as it sounds, but I’m learning that the real progress comes when you push through setbacks. I’m back now, and I’m back stronger with the force of the Holy Ghost guiding me.

As a little extra, I also designed something for my brand on the 4th slide. For those who don’t know, outside of my design journey, I work as a brand registration agent, helping entrepreneurs legalize their businesses here in Nigeria. (Just thought I’d chip that in 😉).

This challenge is stretching me in ways I didn’t expect, but it’s fulfilling to see my growth. Day by day, edit by edit, I’m coming closer to achieving my second big goal of the year. Tomorrow’s lesson is all about Brushes, and I’m excited to see how far I can push my creativity.

I’m proud of today’s progress, and as always, I’m open to feedback if you have any corrections or advice. 🚀
